Can you have a WCF web service manage users in the membership providers? For
example, if you were to use a standard login control on a page, it goes
directly to the provider to sign in the user. Can I have a web service do
this instead? If so, how do you do it?

I assume by WCF Web service you mean WCF Service? I don't see a problem in
this. Essentially, if your membership store is not on the web server, it
would make sense to use a web service for this. A WCF service is overkill
though unless the authentication is bundled with more business services.

The membership is required to make any of the services provided to the web
applications to work. If membership doesn't work, none of it does.
